When we heard that the famous Michelin Star Chicken Rice in Singapore will be in Ipoh, we were all looking forward to get a taste of the famous chicken rice. The Ipoh-born chef has decided to bring his famous chicken rice to Ipoh. We waited for reviews from those who have visited and tasted the food. There were mixed reviews and so we decided to go and taste the food for ourselves.
It was a Wednesday and there was no home cooking in my kitchen. As we will be attending Ash Wednesday in church that evening, we decided to visit Hawker Chan for dinner at 26, Jalan Theatre, Ipoh.
The customers have to queue up at the counter to order their food. Then they were given a number. When their food is ready, the number will be called out for customers to collect their food.
Wall decor.
Seating space are limited and customers have to wait to get seats during peak hours. Instead of waiting for seats, some customers prefer to take away their food and eat in the comfort of their home.
We reached the plate at about 6:40 pm. We found a place for two persons next to another couple. I sat at the table while hubby ordered the food.
Signature soy sauce chicken rice @ RM 6.80
BBQ pork rice @ RM 6.80 and 2 Chinese tea @ RM 0.80 each.
I would say that this Singapore chicken rice has its own unique taste in the sweet soy sauce. Hubby and I still prefer the taste of our local chicken rice, maybe because we are not used to the sweet soy sauce on the white rice. I quite like the taste of the bbq pork which is also on the sweet side.
After dinner at Hawker Chan, it was too early to go to church. We went to get some dessert at the Ipoh Dessert Street (Tong Sui Kai) at Jalan Ekram, Ipoh.
Hubby ordered Ice Kacang aka ABC sweet dessert.
Ice shaving topped with sugar syrup and multiple ingredients.

I ordered something warm to soothe my itchy throat and slight cough.
This dessert is called Leng Chee Kang or Lotus Seeds Sweet Dessert.

We got into the car and off we went to church to attend the Ash Wednesday service.
Since you are so anxious to have special gifts from the Holy Spirit,
ask him for the very best,
for those that will be of real help to the whole church.
(1 Corinthians 14:12, The Living Bible-TLB)
Gorgeous evening pictures!! What IS that black on the ice??
ReplyDeleteIt is a kind of grass jelly made from a type of plant.
DeleteQuite a lot of pork!!
ReplyDeleteI could use ais kacang now. Weather has gotten warmer since last week over here. But today a bit gloomy but I am not sure if it is going to rain.
Yes, weather very warm here too! Yesterday, we have strong wind and heavy rain so no need air-con last night. Today, the same warm weather again.
DeleteDifferent foods, different tastes. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Have a good day!
DeleteI read that hawker chan is from Ipoh but went to Sg to set up stall but is now back in Ipoh for locals to get to eat his famous chicken rice. is the sweet soy sauce sweeter than normal soy sauce by a lot?
ReplyDeleteI think the soy sauce is sweeter than what we are used to. I don't mind going back for the bbq pork.
DeleteAll looks delicious and a delight to see the night scenes prior to going to Church.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas!
DeleteDroolworthy! And I love those plants decoration on the wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie!
DeleteSometimes food is a matter of taste, hence the mixed reviews. If the sauce is too sweet, then I won't like it.
ReplyDeleteActually, it is not too sweet but on the sweet side.
DeleteI don't mind the chicken rice and bbq pork rice, sweet is ok for me, lovely night views of ipoh town

ReplyDeleteNow that you have mentioned, they should at least give some cucumber slices.
